Vintage Surf City home sells for $1.16M

November 18th, 2009, 12:00 pm by Marilyn Kalfus, real estate reporter

A mission-style house in the Lake Park area of Huntington Beach dating back to 1924 that retained many of its vintage touches sold last week for $1,165,000. It was going for $1,497,00 last Spring.

10th9312

“They just wanted something really special and unique, that had character,” Betty Elkins-Rice, who listed and sold the house, said of the buyers, who have 3 children. 

“It’’s truly one-of-a kind,” she said of the home’s blending of past and present. “I don’t know of anything that would compare to it in Huntington Beach.”

The house was expanded in the 1940s, tripling the space. As I wrote in April, the home is 3,200-square feet but most of the rooms are small, the way houses were more than half a century ago.

Those cove ceilings, arched doorways, cornices and hardwood floors with narrow planks all help to evoke the past.

“As the house has been added on to, everyone has stayed true to the house, true to the era it was built in,” Elkins-Rice said. 

I know the house, at 931 10th St., was supposed to be on the Huntington Beach home tour last year, but the timing wasn’t right.

I wonder if the tour organizers will try again?
